A **spermatocelectomy** is a [surgical procedure](/source/Surgery) performed to remove a [spermatocele](/source/Spermatocele)[1] by separating it from the [epididymis](/source/Epididymis). The patient is given an [anesthetic](/source/Anesthetic) in the groin and a small incision is made into the [scrotum](/source/Scrotum). The surgeon pulls the testicle and epididymis to the incision and separates the spermatocele by tying it off with a suture. The surgeon then removes it, and stitches up the area.[citation needed]
